shaman gear for 5on5 roaming/arena

[mad doc]

what gear/spec would you as an shaman in 5on5 played as a supporter/healer.
we recently had a in-guild tournament on my server.
i played in a team consisting of:
fury warri cho/db normal bwl dps gear
mm hunter 8/8 ds bwl xbow
ice/arc mage 8/8 netherwind
shadow priest(only for silence and shadowform to absorb the assistrain) some wire gear mix for max survival.
and me 0/23/28 sham


i centerd my gear around sta/int to survive a little bit longer.
i have around 4.5-4.7 hp with 5.2k mana.
gear was:
eartfury helm/CoD 20fr/100hp
pvp neck
10storm shoulder
dragons blood cape resi all
eartfury breast 100hp
pvp bracer sta
earthfury hands str
therazanes link(nef mail waist)
Primalist's Linked Legguards 100 hp
sabatons of the flamewalker sta
ring of matyr (strat quest reward)
band of sufuras
pvptrinket/zhc/NAC/ab trinket
claw of the blackdrake/aurastone crusader/nothing (waiting for nef mace)
malistars sta

while playing the tournament i found out that without the first ef bonus totems are very hard to use.
also that spellhit is important because resisted shocks for spell interuption suck.
and my mana was to low i think because in most fights(against the hard teams) it was oom at the end and had to melee :).

we also recorded on multiple teams/PoVs and i hope i can finish the movie in the next weeks.

Just have to ask - why the heck do you bring a fury warrior to 5v5?:S

[morrison]

ive been messing around with this for a while, right now i think this is what i would go with; given accesss to every purp i could want obviously

i'm still undecided about a few slots, namely neck/shield/back

Armor: 5803
Health: 4930
Mana: 6058

Back: Cape of the Trinity (+5 All Resistances)
Chest: Earthfury Vestments (Health +100)
Feet: Greaves of Ten Storms (Stamina +7)
Left Finger: Dragonslayer's Signet
Right Finger: Band of Sulfuras
Hands: Earthfury Gauntlets (Increases healing done by spells and effects by up to 30.)
Head: Helmet of Ten Storms (Health +100)
Legs: Legplates of Ten Storms (Health +100)
Neck: Master Dragonslayer's Medallion
Shouders: Epaulets of Ten Storms (+5 Fire Resistance)
Left Trinket: Zandalarian Hero Charm
Right Trinket: Rune of Perfection
Waist: Belt of Ten Storms
Wrist: Earthfury Bracers (Stamina +9)
Mainhand: Lok'amir il Romathis (Increases healing done by spells and effects by up to 55.)
Offhand: Blessed Qiraji Bulwark (Stamina +7)


i went with the rune of perfection because purge/es resists are gay as fuck and that helps some

as far as spec goes, im 0/21/30 and i don't think i'll ever change

edit: of course right now i dont have all of that, so im at 4550hp/5980mana :*[

[mad doc]

were are mostly a pve guild, but some of us come from a fps background and like to have some real pvp action (not lame bg flag camping and leaving).
so most of our wars are speced fury, but dont under estimate a fury warri with sulfuras.

here is a small test vid from our first 5on5 tourney wf + fury = :twisted:.
yes that are only small clips but as long as he isnt CCed he still does his job.
and with dw he is nearly fear immune do the 30 sec duration.

what i want to add we won every match but lost aggainst a sham, sham, r14 war,ice mage, fire mage team. but they lost against the team that my team crushed in the final consisting of priest sham wl hunter mage.

Have fun without the MS debuff.

[mad doc]

i know it would be easier to have an ms warrior. but because like i said we only have one left and he plays in an other team.

but back to topic: no other shams around here ? :)
i would also know is somebody here that plays not the supporter/Healer role but instead an ele or melee dmg spec successfull in 5on5s.

[duds]

This is would be my ideal set up for roaming/arena.

Back: Dragon's Blood Cape (+70 armor)
Chest: Earthfury Vestments (Health +100)
Feet: Greaves of Ten Storms (Stamina +7)
Left Finger: Band of Sulfuras
Right Finger: Band of Forced Concentration
Hands: Earthfury Gauntlets (+30 healing)
Head: Helmet of Ten Storms (zg enchant)
Legs: Legplates of Ten Storms (zg enchant)
Neck: Angelista's Charm
Shouders: Epaulets of Ten Storms (+33 healing)
Left Trinket: Hibernation Crystal
Right Trinket: Neltharion's Tear
Waist: Belt of Ten Storms
Wrist: Earthfury Bracers (Stamina +9)
Mainhand: Fang of Korialstrasz (+55 healing)
Offhand: Not sure of the name but the shaman shield out of AQ (Stamina +7)

My spec would be 0/21/30.

that's just pure dream EQ tho man. Most guilds are never gunna let a shaman near band of forced conc, at least mine doesn't :> and i don't aggree with a lot of what uve put down there.

5 stormcaller, neck from twin emps, EF bracers, gloves from AQ 20 or rank 12 gloves, primalist waist or the new one from AQ, band of forced conc and probably mindtear band or reckoning, then the BWL and hakkar nuking trinkets. lok'amir with spell power and vael shield (not sure ive seen this AQ shaman shield)

30/0/21 spec

obviously nobody has that level of gear. I like my current setup in terms of realistic eq tho i lack some jewelry due to mage/warlock priority. i switched my mace from spell power back to healing and went to resto spec for our AQ learning phase

I don't see the shaman as primarily being a healer. In all our 5v5 teams the shamans are using lots of +dmg and going heavy nuking. 5v5 is all about insta killing these days, u can still heal like this but u can't do insane dmg without this stuff :>

additionally enhancement is shit, i don't see any reason to spec anything other than 30/0/21. or 21/0/30. if ure going to use a 2 hander in 5v5 ure an idiot.

//mek

[morrison]

5 stormcaller

//mek

you should probably be more careful when throwing around the word 'idiot'

[mek]

as i said that's ideal gear, if ure refering to it not being possible atm ...

u just use ZG chest and ten storms legs instead and the rest is fine. I don't need to be more careful when throwing that around since seriously why the fuck would u use a 2 hander in 5v5 :P

//mek

[Anonymous]

funny how, in your profile, your talents show 0/11/40 for twohander use in enhancement...

[bierbaum]

Farming ftw !

[mek]

yes because i can't grind with 40 resto unless i use my herald of woe or it takes a rediculous amount of time

that's just pure dream EQ tho man. Most guilds are never gunna let a shaman near band of forced conc, at least mine doesn't :> and i don't aggree with a lot of what uve put down there.

Well, in other guilds band of forced conc gets dissenchanted if shamans dont take it since aq= one free ring(wich is even better) and better rings with crits are around on dragons already and in aq too.. Tbh in most better guilds whoever pays the dkp gets the loot doesnt matter wich class.
